EXT. BOND HOTEL - NIGHT
The Bond Hotel is a weathered old building crammed up against a set of elevated train tracks. A neon sign swings over the entrance: TRANSIENTS WELCOME. A red 1977 Pontiac Grand with body damage rolls up and parks across the street from the hotel.
SCENE 99
Location: INT. PONTIAC
A beautiful woman is smoking a cigarette in the dark, as Jake and Elwood walk into view towards the hotel. On the other side of the street she raises a Solethean Anti-Tank Rifle onto her shoulder and sights down the infra-red sight.

Location: EXT. BOND HOTEL - FRONT DOOR - NIGHT - JAKE AND ELWOOD
They approach the seedy Bond Hotel unaware of their danger.
ELWOOD: Nice place, Huh?
The MYSTERY WOMAN opens fire, getting off four tracer shells in rapid succession. Jake and Elwood hit the dirt as the three projectiles, explode spectacularly taking out a good chunk of the front of the Bond Hotel. The red Pontiac burns rubber and roars away. Jake and Elwood get up and brush themselves off. They look at each other, shrug and enter the hotel.
SCENE 101
Location: INT. BOND HOTEL LOBBY - NIGHT
Aside from the newly-made gaping holes in the stairwell which are still smoking slightly, there is nothing in the lobby to indicate anything extraordinary has just happened. The floor and bottom half of the walls are made of small black and white mosaic tiles, badly chipped and stained with urine. Elwood walks up to a floor-to-ceiling cage made of 3-inch-thick plexiglass armor with a small porthole in the center. Inside an old man, LLOYD, sits watching wrestling on television. He speaks with a raw hoarseness.
ELWOOD: Hey, Lloyd, anybody call me on the phone?
LLOYD: No, no calls. Some guy left this card, though. A cop...said he'd be back.
Lloyd slips a business card to Elwood through a slit in the armor. Elwood hands it to Jake.

SCENE 104
Location: INT. ELWOOD'S ROOM - NIGHT
The room is a slit with a window at one end that adjoins the elevated train track outside. A train roars by. The room shakes. A yellow Illinois Highway NO PASSING sign falls off one wall onto Elwood's hot plate, a few tins of food and a Radio Shack stereo system.
ELWOOD: Well, it ain't much, but its home.
JAKE: How often does the train go by?
ELWOOD: So often, you won't even notice it.
Elwood puts an old '78 record on the stereo and takes a wire coat hanger off the hook on the back of the door. He goes over to the hot plate, opens the little fridge, pulls out a loaf of Wonder Bread. He presses a slice of bread on the coat hanger. He then takes the coat hanger with the bread on it and lays it on the hot plate.
JAKE: What are you doing?
ELWOOD: Making dinner. Want some?
Jake sits down on the cot.
JAKE: Tomorrow we've got to get the band together.
ELWOOD: (munching on the burnt, Wonder Bread) I;m gonna quit work in the morning, first thing.
JAKE: How you gonna get to work, Mr. Leadfoot?...Mr Hotrodder... Mr. Motorhead? Those cops took your driver's license away. They got your name, your address.
ELWOOD: No, they don't got my address, I falsified my renewal. I put down 1060 West Addison.
JAKE: 1060 West Addison?...That's Wrigley Field!
Elwood smiles. Jake lies back on the cot.
ELWOOD: Well, I gotta hit the sack.
Jake starts snoring.
ELWOOD: Hey, you sleeze, my bed.
Elwood leans over and folds part of the blanket on the cot over Jake. The last chorus of "Saturday Night Fish Fry" comes up: "They were reeling, they were rocking, they were reeling and rocking up until the break of dawn," Elwood walks to the window. A train roars by.Camera: DISSOLVE TO

MERCER: And our friend, Mr. Computer, printed out the parole records of one Jake Blues, my little jailbird and the brother of your pinch Elwood. See, Jake gave this address as the place to notify in case of his death. I kind of like the Wrigley Field bit.
